die of the next century to $500. At the
death of the Great Elector (168S) Berlin

VIZ SMALLEST KINGDOM.
Death OF Paul I. OF Tavolnra-Three
Other small states.

What schoolmaster, to say nothing OF
"every schoolboy," knows that there is
n European kingdom named Tavolara
lying in the Mediterranean, or rather
Tyrrhenian waters, the King of which,
Paul !, died only few months ago, full
of years and honors? or the northeast
coast of the island of Sardinia lies the
much smaller island of Tavolara, five
miles long and one broad. Its posses
sion and absolute sovereignty were for
mally granted by King Charles Albert
of Sardinia to the Bartoleoni family,
and for more than half century Paul
!, King of Tavolara, rcigned over it in
peace. On May 3Oth last King Paul
was compelled to go to the mainland
to seek treatment for heart disease.
Finding that science was powerlcss
in his case the king returned to his
island TO die in the midst of his subjects,
who are forty in number. He died sit
ting in his chair, like the Emperor YES
pasan, vainly endcavorng to write Il
will He was rs years old. The forty
subjects Of Re Paclo, as they called him,
lost in him benevolent and industrious
monarch; his family lost n kind father,
and the wild goats of the island, more
numerous than his subjects, lost-we
will not say they mourn the loss of-an
intrepid hunter.
Tavalora is a smaller State than even
the Republic of San Marine, lying east
of Italy, which has twenty-five square
miles and 5000 people; the principality
of Monaco, on the French coast OF the
Mediterranean, near the Italian from
tier, which has eight and one-half square
miles and $500 inhabitants, or the Re-
public of Andorra, lying between France
and Spain, which is 600 square miles in
extent and has 1000 people. - Youths
